摘要

We ask if self-reliance is an outdated and unaffordable policy principle for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The affordability, relevance and utility of self-reliance in the so-called 'Asian Century' are questionable, and by critically examining the 2013 Defence White Paper, capacity for the ADF to act independently is - and has always been - a 'fantasy,' dislocated from ADF capability development and force structure prioritisation. An enduring debate of Australian defence policy - addressing the fundamental dilemma at the centre of Australia's geo-strategic circumstances -has been the conceptual choice between localised and global strategic policies. On one hand is the view that Australia lacks the capacity to defend the continent unaided. This has led to the forging of alliances and the strategy of building military forces to support, such alliances wherever they might be threatened. On the other is the view that Australia's allies may not be either able or inclined to support the defence of Australia at a time of direct threat, dictating the need for Australia to build military capabilities to defend its territory as best it can.
